Manchester United is considering a move for 22-year-old Everton centre-back Jarrad Branthwaite, who is reportedly open to joining. However, United would need Champions League qualification, which presently seems unlikely due to their poor Premier League form. New manager Ruben Amorim has already secured other promising defenders for the squad, calling into question Branthwaite's necessity. He is a highly regarded talent and could attract interest from other top clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham, while Jamie Carragher has praised his special abilities.
While United may have needed a signing like Branthwaite in the recent past, it's not clear if he makes sense as a priority for them now.
The Red Devils would supposedly need Champions League football in order to get a deal done for Branthwaite, according to a report from the Sun.
There surely will be other suitors for a talent like Branthwaite, with the Sun also naming the likes of Manchester City and Tottenham as being keen on him.
Ex-Red Jamie Carragher is a big fan of Branthwaite though, having previously described him as special, as quoted by the Mirror.
